What we can and can’t say about Arctic warming and U.S. winters Evidence of a connection is growing stronger, but scientists still struggle to explain why.

CSUF News Center - The Digitization of Marine Invertebrate Fossils Brings Ancient Sea Life to Light Geological sciences faculty members Nicole Bonuso and James Parham, with a team of student researchers, worked on a collaborative project to digitalize marine invertebrate fossils found in Orange County.

A report about the EPICC TCN's work to digitize and make public the hidden data in our collections. However, the only skeletons we have are those of corals!

The precious scientific artifacts that will never see the light of day Museum drawers are stuffed with vast collections of fossils that could be digitized.

More insights from our recent EPICC TCN paper in Biology Letters.

More Than 96% Of Museum Fossils Could Be Lost In Disasters Like The National Museum of Brazil The science community is still reeling from the loss of 20 million irreplaceable artifacts after a fire tore through Brazil’s oldest scientific institution

Team EPICC at Berkeley! Gathering for our annual meeting and excited to discuss our next research projects.

Fossils of L.A. team presented our digitization projects at , the 5th International Paleontological Congress in Paris last week. We're looking for opportunities to connect our Cretaceous Seas of California project with EPICC to investigate the biotic impacts of the K-Pg extinction in Western North America.

Some of our youngest supporters got to be curators for the day at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Many of these Southern California Paleontological Society members helped to collect some samples in the field with the Fossils of L.A. team a few months earlier. This past weekend they got to wash, sort, and identify those samples, using identification resources produced as part of our EPICC digitization efforts.

The youngest members of the Southern California Paleontological Society joined us this weekend for a tour of the collection tailored just for them. We started off with a collections tour, and did our best to answer all the questions these aspiring paleontologists had. After seeing the collection, everyone got to try their hands at screenwashing and sorting fossils recently collected during an SCPS field trip. We’re ready to start hiring!

The oysters and barnacles came out for this year's CalDay behind-the-scenes tours at UCMP.

New EPICC gastropods published by Carol Hickman.

A new Calliovarica species (Seguenzioidea: Chilodontidae) from the Eocene of Oregon, USA: Persistence of a relict Mesozoic gastropod group in a unique forearc tectonic setting Author(s): Hickman, Carole S. | Abstract: A new, enigmatic chilodontid gastropod with distinctive periodic varices is described as Calliovarica oregonensis. It is based on ten specimens from slope deposits of the early late Eocene Nestucca Formation on the coastal Cascadia margin of present day Oreg...
